Brinsley Lodge Inn in Broxtowe

First time we've tried here for a meal....excellent will be back again (:

Had a lovely meal and drink on the steak night

Absolutely can not fault this place, the food is always delicious, hot and plenty of it. Service is excellent and they don't charge the earth. They have different offers on throughout the day and evening times so there is something to suit everyone's tastes and pockets from a 3 course meal for under £10 to the chefs specials for those who fancy something a bit different. Plenty of parking, seating inside and outside and play an outdoor play area.

Food was spot on! Staff all friendly.. no complaints here 🙂

Nice place, excellent food. Friendly staff. Bit of an error with food but soon sorted out.

Lovely food, quick service only downside was how expensive the drinks was £9 for one pint and half a glass of coke! Probably wouldn't go go again 🙄

This was my favourite place to go for a meal, I went to say goodbye to Kathryn because I was moving to a care home in Louth but it was her day off and I was absolutely devastated.

Great food although it does take a while to come out to you. Usually quite busy but that's because it's nice food :). Good value for money.

Food was ok staff friendly toilets very clean

Mesa no puesta, hora y media esperando bebidas golpeadas en el piso desde el bar, preguntando cuándo estaría lista nuestra comida rubia gerente seguía diciendo que salir ahora, no era buena comida obviamente se había sentado bajo las luces de calentamiento, seco y no agradable, gerente no podía ser molestado, nunca más

Absolutely ridiculous, booked for 4 people. Waited outside for a table for 25minutes, ordered meals,1 hour and still waiting,busy it is but so ridiculous I'm in 2 minds whether to say sod it and walk out..!! Too greedy,why not just say sorry booked up no availability? Staff running round not coping well..!!

Dropped in for a bite to eat and will definitely not be returning. Our food arrived and the food was atrocious, cold, the gammon would have been of better use in a cobblers shop. The salad garnish was not fresh and consisted of limp spinach and one chunk of cucumber, my scampi was luke warm has were the chips. No excuse has the place was not busy at all! To top it all off we were charged twice due to a misunderstanding with their card machine. A phone call to brinsley Lodge the next day I was rudely spoken too and was given an email to get a refund on the double payment. An email was sent off with evidence of a duplicate payment and 11 days later I have not had a reply from brinsley Lodge. A charge back has been initiated for the refund. We'll done to all the staff in making a simple bite to eat a bad experience.Do yourself a favour and just drive by this place.

Very disappointed with this place. It took an hour and half for our meal (2 adults and a child) even tho there was only 4 tables in. The first sign was the chef shouting I'm ready to walk. Eventually our food was served the stake wasn't rested at all, the mushrooms was swimming in juice and tasted off and the "fresh salad" was soo soo dry it looked like it had been sat out for days.we may of been the unlucky ones that had a bad experience but I have to say this was one of the worst places I have been for food I will not be returning again!!! And to top that off it cost me over 70 pound this experience was not worth half that.

Lovely food, great prices friendly staff.

Nice out of the way pub , decent selection of beers & food ok too

Real chips!!! Always great food. Lots of choice .

Food is good but very slow service and waited over 45 minutes for main food and the same time for puddings

Went for breakfast Food was lovely Doggy friendly in the downstairs area and the waiting staff bought a bowl of water and doggy biscuits to each dog Really nice

I've been a few times lately. Can't fault anything. Beautiful meals. Well, worth a visit. Especially the meal deals Monday to Saturday 12 till 5. Fantastic value. I personally go for the steak, yummy.

Around good .Price can't fault it

Doesn't disappoint only place I will eats chips they are proper chippy chips the meals are just honest food not fancy but when you just want home cooking this is the place to go

First visit but not be the last good 100percent food service staff friendly food amazing as with the staff

The mixed grill is worth a try! Busy place, good atmosphere and friendly staff.

Absolutely lovely food . Fantastic service. And very friendly staff myself and wife ,will be going there again

Place has gone down hill so much over the past few years it can be so hit and miss if you get a good or bad meal and service. The last time we went in late Dec 2024, the meal was ATTROCIOUS! We order two fish and chips. I was served batted fish skin...no fish whatsoever in sight, the other was an obviously reheated several times over and over dry and crusty lump of brittle batter. Dreadful (Sorry guys you used to be 5 stars in or books as food was always brilliant, but now can only give you 2/3 stars)

A big thank you to all the staff members, who made our experience so pleasant, one our family has severe allergies and food intolerance, which can cause problems with dining out.the staff and chef were so obliging which made the meal for my family member perfect . Will definitely come again Thank you

Un gran agradecimiento a todos los miembros del personal, que hicieron nuestra experiencia tan agradable, uno de nuestra familia tiene alergias severas y la intolerancia alimentaria, que puede causar problemas con la cena fuera. el personal y el chef eran tan atentos que hizo la comida para mi miembro de la familia perfecto. Definitivamente vendrá de nuevo Gracias.

Servicio horrible, comida horrible, comida de cumpleaños horrible! Nunca habíamos estado aquí antes y el menú se veía bien, así que pensamos en probarlo. Lamentablemente la comida era terrible; fuimos por chisporroteadores de fajita y el filete de grupa se quemó, con dos trozos de pimienta quemados en la mezcla y nada más, ninguna otra verdura en absoluto. La pizza del niño era una pizza de microondas de la ciudad de Chicago y por lo tanto la salsa era picante. Los guisantes estaban ridículamente deshidratados y las patatas fritas se arrugaban sin que quedara patata, o lo contrario y no se cocinaban en absoluto. Pensamos que también era una opción extraña servir arroz, patatas fritas y una ensalada con un pollo agridulce. Luego vino la comida de la cumpleañera - se suponía que era un pollo a la parrilla con puré y una cobertura derretida de cebollas salteadas y pimientos con mozzarella en la parte superior. Resulta que el chef no sabe cómo cocinar verduras y por eso solo pone cebolla cruda y pimientos encima. Dijimos al personal y dijeron que lo arreglarían. Veinte minutos después, cuando todos los demás habían terminado sus comidas, recuperamos el pollo y nos dijeron que el chef lo había rehecho completamente. Eso fue mentira. El puré estaba lleno de grumos quemados donde había sido llevado al microondas hasta la muerte, y la verdura todavía estaba cruda con la mozzarella ahora quemada en la parte superior de también ser sometida al microondas. ¡Añadido a esto, el personal va continuamente a los baños y se sienta en sus teléfonos! Luego no lavarse las manos y volver a servir alimentos y bebidas. El personal del bar no sabía cómo introducir comidas en la caja y eran duros y groseros. ¡En resumen arruinó la comida de cumpleaños! Aunque nos reembolsaron la comida. ¡No volverás!

Food was nice, what let it down I ordered 3 beers, all 3 glasses were not just dirty but were covered in grime and large bits such as food. I went to bar and was given a blank look and told they will sort it, gave me fresh glass and was just as bad. Staff were not energetic and happy to be there and no enjoyment in work, again food was nice but wouldn’t go again due to everything else, top it off we had to wait an hour for food.

Increíble desayuno esta mañana! Servicio brillante de Carron, que consiguió nuestro pedido exigente justo. La comida estaba caliente y muy sabrosa. Gracias. Xx

El filete suele ser una buena opción. Y si no te importa que los perros paseen saltando de rodillas mientras comen, ¡¡te darán un capricho!! El gerente no se preocupa y alborota activamente a los perros vagabundos sin pistas y les da aullidos de agua para mantenerlos allí más tiempo 😳

So we came for our Christmas day meal as last year was great. We were all disappointed unfortunately this year. The price was £70 so for that price everything should be spot on. Prawn cocktail starter was ok but a hell of a lot of lettuce that none of us finished. 2 Christmas dinners were ok but cold. There was a check back at our table but we'd only just cut into our meals never mind eating any. 3rd meal was steak and again cold chips. For the price we were also expecting a few mushrooms, a couple of onion rings maybe but it turned out to be just steak, cold chips and peas. The dessert was ok. The little amount of staff clearly didn't want to be there and it clearly showed. I've had to work over Christmas for the last 16yrs. You put a smile on and crack on with it. If you don't want to do it and you can't even fake a smile then ladies you need to change your job. Not one smile from any of the staff. Why was the supervisor not boying her staff along? We will not be coming here again for our Christmas meal

Sat downstairs due to being with elderly people. Food and service was excellent.

Absolutely terrible experience. The staff was rude and was very dirty

We booked here for my sisters 40th birthday. Sadly to say it was very disappointing! The service was average .. some of the meals were forgotten about. Some people were still waiting for drinks after being ordered! Poorly laid out. The food was rubbish .. we had 3 courses off the festive menu .. on the website it was advertised £24.99 when we went to pay the bill it was £26.99! Very miss leading and I couldn’t be bothered to argue the facts ! We won’t be returning. Very poor experience

Super value for money with 2 for 1 offer on Sunday. As there were 3 of us the saving was only 33%. Yorkshire pudding had been sitting around for a long time and was approaching leather quality, and some veg had been cooked well in advance. We were there at about 6pm, and posted times were 5-8:30 pm.

Food was delicious, but it took almost an hour to get it!

The food was nice, the peas were cold we both had to send them back, no discount as an apology like most places do 🤔

5 of us had the Christmas Festive menu last nigh December 18th. Having booked and paid in full the week before we had to ask if due to a medical appointment we could alter the time to 7 pm. only to be told they had not processed our booking. The time was altered but at 6.30 and on route we received a phone call asking when will we be arriving. Luckily the restaurant was not very busy probably due to the awful weather that night and our table was set with a festive tablecloth including crackers. The food was up to the usual standard and all the staff were very pleasant. The only disappointment and it was very disappointing at 9.01 pm being told after asking for a latte that the coffee machine was CLOSED Having spent approximately £170/£180 I would have expected the staff to make the latte but that did not happen Gary family and friends

Really good experience again tonight, always friendly and knowledgeable with a family members allergies. Food didn’t disappoint, always treated well in the restaurant, highly recommend.

Had excellent 3 course meal on Tuesday. Would recommend to everyone. Multiple choice menu. couldnt fault it ...

Came yesterday with friends for the first time, the staff came across as if they couldn't be bothered. The food was mediocre at best. Won't return

The food and the service was very good and everyone enjoyed it. But I was disappointed in the fact that I had invited 36 people to the lunch and paid the deposit as required and told that this was none refundable which I quite understand. I then paid the balance by the date required, unfortunately 7 people in the group had taken ill and couldn't make it to the lunch. I expected to get a small refund for the 7 elderly people that couldn't come but was then told the whole cost of the meal was not refundable. This meant the restaurant made £77 out of unfortunate senior citizens. Ho well the governments taken their winter fuel payments off off them, the pub might as well take Thier food money off them.

Quite disappointed about my families experience tonight . Service wasn't great and neither was the christmas meal. I felt sorry for the staff or lack of staff would be more to the point. The upstairs was extremely busy and although the staff did there best it wasn't good enough. So to the the owner of the establishment my advice would review your staffing , or don't take so many bookings .

We had a lovely experience at the brinsley lodge. The food was nice and there was plenty of choice. The serving staff were lovely and the place has plenty of room so your not sitting right on top of one another. Plenty of free parking outside too and no service charge added at the end as do so many places these days. I would recommend trying it here as it's much better than most places around, all for a reasonable price. We had two hunters chicken with jacket potatoes, chicken tikka masala with rice, although you can have chips or half n half if you wish and the chicken teriyaki tacos.

Went out with friends for a Our wedding anniversary meal. Very nice food, lovely staff, although my friend asked for jacket potato but came with chips wasn't too much of a problem.as they did ask to change the meal

Arrived around 9.45am on a Thursday to an empty pub, but lots of tables were already reserved. We were greeted in a friendly manner and found a table. Unfortunately, most of the menus on our table weren't clean; traces of ketchup or food left on them so I resorted to using the online menu. After ordering and paying, the coffee arrived in a very quick manner and it was really nice. Our full English arrived not long after and again, I was really happy with the standard of the meal.

Family birthday celebration yesterday and we all enjoyed our meals which came out in a timely fashion. It was all hot and very tasty

Surprisingly it was very nice, first time been here. I'd go back again as food was delicious and plentiful.

Food really nice and hot service great

Love this place steak fantastic

Called in for Sunday dinner with partner. We waited an hour before being served. It was very poor. Food wasn't really hot. Gravy was already put on which is usually in a gravy boat. Was disappointed as usually meals have been ok.

4 menu's of frozen shite not impressed

Good range of food. Good service.

Great service and excellent staff

More expensive than it used to be but where isn't these days (even Wetherspoons), specials during the week can drop the cost considerably we went on Saturday night all food was excellent, starter ,main, and dessert staff polite and efficient.

Wow now that's good food! Really generous portions but not too much Don't be in a massive rush for your food I've always noticed but it worth the wait really

A very nice place to eat. Long wait but food freshly cooked. Good staff .

Food was nice, the assistant manager was trying his hardest to stay on top of things in the restaurant whilst downstairs was busy. Could have done with more staff being on just to take the stress away from the staff on. A Saturday evening you'd have thought more would have been on.

We both had steak, good prices on steak night. Both cooked to perfection

Excellent value. Staff very friendly and so very helpful. Couldn't ask for more.

Food was amazing as always, we had the steak meal and mixed grill, food was fresh and they are always super busy, we where told we had a long wait but the food was out at a reasonable time :) we will definitely be back.

Normally come here when can afford a meal out usually nice but this time waiting nearly an hour and when dinner came out steak and jacket potato cold took it back then was overcooked when brought it back,chips was really hard couldn't eat them and the onion rings and mushrooms was cold being brought out to early and so was the garlic bread,i hate complaining but when paying nearly £50 out at least my dog did enjoy the steak so at least a happy dog

Asked for a pint of beer and got pint glass with about 3/4 inch of froth, assumed it was one of those glasses which holds in excess of a pint, but unfortunately not. Ordered rump steak cooked medium, the steak was tuff, the chips were mostly dried up, the peas were cheep and nasty, the only edible dish was the side of onion rings. Now when I’m paying top dollar I expect quality, this is greasy spoon stuff. So do yourself a favour and avoid.

Really enjoyed the food, brilliant service, waitresses very attentive

Went to Brinsley lodge for my birthday with a table booked. Had been seated upstairs and told it was table service. Service was poor, people who was arriving after us was being served first. Completely forgotten about for 10/15 minutes. When we had been served we had Both ordered a steak, one being well done the other medium rare. When food and sides come out they had been put on to somebody else’s table for a good 2-5 minutes before realising it was our food and not theirs. Well done steak was medium rare and medium rare steak came rare as anything all pink with blood coming out. Sides was cold, chips was warm & steak got cold half way through eating. Usually a really good place to eat but very disappointed with service and won’t be returning on evenings.

Been many times and couldn't falter the service or anything else. Came yesterday and the service was not good. We were overcharged to start with. On the Monday menu everything on the list said it came with chips. We ordered the pizza. When it came there were no chips. When we enquired about this we were told that all but the pizza came with chips which is not what was shown on the menu. This is the first time we have not been impressed with our visit.

Absolutely beautiful steak, onion rings are proper onion rings, big with real batter. Calamari is lovely and staff are amazing 👏 Lots on the menu to cater for all. Thank you for a lovely Sunday service.

Lovely meal and staff. Couldn't do enough to make you welcome. Thank you

The staff and atmosphere were amazing and the food delicious. My hubby had the fish and chips and I had quiche salad with new potatoes. Followed by Apple pie, and Strawberry sundae. Including drinks the price was £23.60. What is there not to like. This was the 2 for 1 offer. Overall very satisfied.

The place was very loud and busy, we were seated upstairs, the service wasn't great since the server who was taking our order walked off without saying a word mid order then returned without apologising or making sense of what happened, didn't seem like the staff were managed well and everyone appeared to be rushing around after one another. The food was typical pub food, hard chips, and the gammon was very salty, eggs had jelly on top and mushrooms were watery. The food was average and the price wasn't too expensive considering. Although my experience this time wasn't promising, with all the credit the place was very busy for a Tuesday night so I can understand the tense atmosphere. Would visit again regardless, one bad experience isn't enough to judge.

Love this pub. Great food with generous portions. The staff are all lovely. Some great deals each day of the week :)

We. Went for a steak and it was amazing everything about the food was spot on, I did ask for some mustard the lady said yes sure but unfortunately got side tracked and forgot to bring it no big deal I could have asked again but the food was that enjoyable so I didn't bother

Food was literally moldy after taking an hour to arrive. Got a full refund and will avoid like the plague.

Nice pub, lovely grub, nice people

For the prices you pay I would expect exceptional service, staff were miserable and had attitude. Came to our table with 2 steaks, which we had not ordered, huffing n puffing with the attitude, not my fault you got it wrong. Food came eventually to the table 1 hour plus later and hot plate was sent straight in front of a child in a high chair, not acceptable , Health n safety anyway food was not good service was totally not alright so not be recommending you at all. Customer service needs attention every thing was an effort especially for one, I’m sure they no who they are. In the wrong job I think.

Had a roast beef carvery today for amazing value the food was absolutely faultless and the girls serving behind the bar and bringing the food were top draw. Value is very good for the food, and will certainly be back again maybe next time for a steak. This would have been a 5* had the price for a Pepsi max not been £3.50 for a glass the size of 3/4 of a pint.

Lovely meal. 3 children 2 adults. Great service

Why is a adult with dementia and who struggles to eat a full meal not allowed to have a child's meal.? Even your manager wouldn't help with this I'm disgusted that they had to pay for a portion they wouldn't eat !

Came for a birthday meal and you didn't disappoint the food was outstanding as always and the service was welcoming and friendly too

Dirty cutlery and sauce buckets filthy Sent first cutlery bucket back and replaced with another one filthy.

Do not eat here if celiac/ gluten intolerant was assumed my meal would be gluten free and it wasn't I have now been glutened so now got at least week of suffering with bloated stomach,cramps and pains as we as other things

Red hot weather and really didnt fancy much so ordered the ham salad with new potatoes. As it was busy and everything is prepared fresh to order there was a totally understandable wait. The plain ham salad was anything but .... and was the absolute best salad ever eaten out and trust me I am a very very faddy eater who places great emphasis on presentation and quality. Hand carved thick slices of melt in the mouth ham, coleslaw, cheese, egg and every salad accompaniment you could mention and then came a huge bowl of new potatoes in real butter and parsley. Everything home made not mass produced and you could tell! Far from not being hungry I ate and enjoyed almost all of it. Superb and excellent value. Incedible and really really impressed!

Funeral buffet absolutely Perfect very good value. All guests commented on the great selection. The staff were brilliant. Would definitely recommend for any celebration .it just flowed perfectly which really helped my mum . Lady was so nice behind bar and big thanks to the chef such a well presented buffet a great variety of food Thanks. The Hallam family x ♥️

As normal the food was fabulous however the service was a little disappointing. We waited over an hour for our food. We are regular customers and have not experienced this before, a word from a staff member to say there was a delay would have been good, not just a look every so often.

Unfair previous reviews! If brinsley lodge knew they would have sorted it there and then. We love it here, friendly staff that make you feel welcome and the food is always tasty quick and hot.

Atmosphere already made when customers are miserable, me and the girlfriend walk in I see the I assume supervisor..I ask do we just sit down? And the reply was "if you want" I didn't understand what to do did we have to wait to be served or go to the bar there was nothing or any clarity on what to do, we had a couple next to us they were waiting 1 hour and 20 minutes food!! It's unfortunate as we are locals and always been curious to then be treated like weirdos. Absolute shame as I like food and would've had a full 3 course meal and all they've done is lose out on a minimum of £80 and return business if treated properly, all we wanted was proper service and quality food it's not hard to do as being a ex chef myself, especially when marketed that way...absolute shame....

We had a wake at Brinsley Lodge and the staff and food was amazing they made such a great effort

Really good for the price, chips are yummy! Gets very busy, so book ahead x we I had scampi, o/h had pie both really nice. Must say drinks are very expensive!

Brinsley Lodge Steakhouse - A Perfect 50th Birthday Celebration My 50th birthday was made truly unforgettable thanks to the exceptional experience at Brinsley Lodge Steakhouse. From the moment we stepped in, the warm and welcoming atmosphere created the perfect backdrop for a family celebration. The food was absolutely outstanding. The steaks were cooked to perfection, tender, juicy, and bursting with flavour. The accompanying sides were equally delicious, complementing the main course beautifully. Every dish was presented with care and attention to detail. The staff were attentive, friendly, and went above and beyond to ensure our afternoon was special. They were happy to accommodate our group and made us feel valued guests. Overall, Brinsley Lodge Steakhouse is a gem. The combination of excellent food, fantastic service, and a lovely ambiance made it the ideal venue for my 50th birthday celebration. I would wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience. Thank you, Brinsley Lodge Steakhouse, for making my 50th birthday so special!

Excellent food. Great service and some brilliant offers on. Staff were curtios and helpful. Was a lovely afternoon out

Went with family for lunch, party of 6 of us. Long wait for food to come (I put this down to one member of the party selecting a dish from the general menu rather than the Sunday roast menu). I ordered roast beef dinner, arrived smothered in cold gelatinous gravy, which I had to scrape off the meat, I couldn’t bring myself to eat any of the veg as it was all over cooked, mash was lumpy and Yorkshire pudding dry. Personal taste , everyone else ate theirs. I certainly won’t be returning.

A nice place was a cheap meal night I had the steak and chips the meals were good for the price. Also cheap pint great atmosphere dog friendly

Pleasant staff. Good service and reasonably priced food. Plenty of choice. Good for friends and families

Popped on for breakfast after taking the dogs for a walk along The Headstocks. Excellent food, outstanding service, we highly recommend this establishment and the staff.

The food is some of the best we’ve ever had all locally sourced the staff are all very attentive and happy making sure every part of your experience is good in all the years we’ve been going there. I cannot say we’ve ever had a bad meal.

Great food , polite friendly staff, good prices and service. All you need from a local pub.

I regularly go to Brinsley Lodge. I went for a meal yesterday and was disappointed with the quality and quantity of food. I didn't realize there was a Monday special menu. I go to Brinsley to get a good and not necessarily a cheap meal. I took family members with me. This is the first bad meal I have had there in years.

Very expensive once you order the sides for your steak. The sirloin steak l ordered was so tough l couldn't stick the fork into it never mind cut it with my steak knife......utter RUBBISH !!! STAY CLEAR AND EAT ELSEWHERE !

You will not get a better price for food and a massive choice of dishes, nice location too.
